21 Chapter-20 : A beautiful combination of stupidity and uselessness

"You've developed alot of strength, want to test it against my disciple?" Tsunade asked as the fight between Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura ended.

With the increasing volume of interactions he usually had with Tsunade, it had become exceedingly difficult to hide his strength.

Hiro's monumental strength growth did not escape Tsunade. She was the Hokage for a reason.

Under such circumstances, Hiro found it unwise to withhold secrets from her, it would only create cracks in their smooth sailing relationship amd would sow seeds of distrust.

As such he spammed the same bs he did with Hinata, though with a little change.

He told her how he belonged to a clan that gave up on Ninja, but still retained their bloodline and how it acts up when they mature, inducing a large gain in strength and chakra.

Tsunade looked skeptically at him first, but soon accepted it after seeing how large his chakra reserves had become and how fast he had gained strength.

There existed many bloodlines in the world that were beyond comprehension, as such she didn't pay a whole lot of mind to it.

She was just glad that Hiro trusted her enough that he chose to tell her the truth right away without hiding his strength rather than waiting for later.

He showed his Explosive Fist style to her, at first she was shocked to see that her style had been copied, but upon closer inspection, she could see that it was fundamentally different though it looked similar.

She was amazed at the prospect that someone could use such a similar technique.

Telling her that it was his clan's secret Taijutsu, Hiro avoided the topic of how he learned it.

She believed it easily as it looked like a much more sophisticated technique that had gone through years of development.

Altough he wasn't a shinobi of the Leaf, with his status as the richest person in Konoha, his strength destroyed alot of barriers a normal person may face in his condition and that eased a lot of worry on Tsunade's mind.

Tsunade had a general estimate of Hiro's strength, about Mid jonin level if he used his Explosive Fist, but now that an opportunity arises itself, she wanted to see how far Hiro had come.

"Sure, but seeing how she already seems exhausted, it would be best if we postpone it to tomorrow, wouldn't it??" Hiro said, looking at the incoming trio of team 7

Altough he wanted to fight someone, that person surely wasn't Sakura, plus, it would be useless, fighting someone weaker.

Instead, Hiro looked at approaching Naruto as he used his senses to scan him.

Even before, he could 'see' how large his Chakra capacity was, but 'seeing' It upclose, it seemt like it was even bigger.

If Hiro's chakra was comparable to a tank full of water, Naruto's was like a fricking swimming pool.

'That must be the Nine tails and Uzumaki in him' Hiro said as he looked at outward appearance of naruto, blond, more like yellow spiky hair along with blue eyes and three whisker like marking on his cheeks.

He looked exactly like how he was shown in the anime, maybe a little more taller and more bright orange.

"You two definitely showed good growth in both strength and your skill as a shinobi" Tsunade said with a serious expression.

Sakura and Naruto greeted Her as Tsunade looked towards Kakashi, asking him "Kakashi, do you have something to say?"

"Well, they both did a great job at taking the bells from me, so....."

"Fine, Now, about your status" Tsunade said as Naruto looked towards her clueless.

"Its about the status of your team, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, from now on, two of you together with Kakashi Hatake will form Team Kakashi" Tsunade said in a serious voice as Kakashi just nodded in the background.

Both of them were clueless as to what that meant.

Meanwhile Hiro deadpanned, he may not be a shinobi but he understood what Tsunade was saying from the start.

'They truly compliment each other, don't they? One's Dumb as shit while other's Useless as shit.....' Hiro thought as he maintained his usual expression.

"It means that from now on, instead of working under me as my students, you'll work alongside me as shinobi of Konoha." Kakashi explained.

"Sure! I got it!" Naruto said with an excited expression.

As he finally looked towards others that were standing here, Hinata, Ino and finally Hiro.

"Hey, how are you doing Hinata-chan, Ino-chan, and..." He greeted the both of them while looking at Hiro in confusion

"Hiro, Hiro Nakamura, it's a pleasure to meet you" Hiro shook hands with Natuto while trying to gauge him up.

"Same, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to the be the Hokage one day, believe it" He said in his usual loud voice.

'God, this is much more cringe than I imagined' Hiro lamented in his mind while keeping up his smile as he Introduced himself to Kakashi and Sakura.

Though he had Hired the golden generation, he had deliberately kept his distance from Sakura and Kakashi, never directly working with them.

Kakashi recognized Hiro's name, as he looked towards Tsunade and then back at him.

"I've heard alot about you guys from Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba... Finally I get to meet you guys" Hiro said as everyone started walking out of the training ground.

"Seriously? well, I guess I'm just that awesome" Naruto said as Sakura almost punched him.

"So, how was your training montage....I mean outside training?" Hiro asked, maintaining small talk.

Hinata, on the other hand walked close to Hiro with a light smile on her face.

She had talked about Naruto many times with Hiro, and slowly but subtly, Hiro warped her image of Naruto into more of a brotherly character than a romantic option.

Hiro looked at Hinata's expression and understood what was going on 'Not even friend zone, Poor fella Directly got Bro zoned.....not that he knows it, thank God Anime MCs are dense'

Ino, looked at all this unfolding weirdly, she knew that Hinata was infatuated with Naruto before, but now her being with Hiro, right after Naruto went out for training, she felt a little bad for Naruto.

"Now, Dinners on me, let's go to Yakiniku Q" Hiro said as he extended his invitation to team Kakashi, Jiraya and Tsunade.

Except Tsunade, who still had 'work' to do, everyone else accepted his invitation while Tsunade kept caressing the Box Hiro had given her with a gentle smile.

Hiro talked with everyone, getting to know about them even more.

Information was key, getting to know their personalities up close, Hiro could increase his importance in their minds by knowing how their mind worked.

Sitting down in the VIP section, Hiro ordered a full A5 course for everyone along with Sake.

They were all genins and above rank, they could legally drink, not that it would stop them.

Altough Hiro didn't drink alcohol, he knew how important and helpful tool it could be.
